#3826 - Cashew Brownies

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 1/2 cups Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)
3/4 cup softened butter
3 eggs
3oz. Baker's UNsweetened baking chocolate (melted and cooled according to box directions)
1 TBSP vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped cashews
16 Kraft caramels (unwrapped)
3 TBSP milk

In a bowl add brown sugar and butter--beat with a spoon. Add eggs and vanilla--beat. Add cooled unsweetened melted chocolate and salt--beat. Add flour and chocolate chips--stir just until mixed. Pour the batter evenly into 2 - 9" square cake pans (lined with foil and sprayed with Pam). Sprinkle the chopped cashews evenly over the batter in each pan. Bake at 325 degrees 20-25 minutes just until brownies are firm to the touch--do NOT overbake. Cool for 30 minutes. In a saucepan over low heat add the unwrapped caramels and the milk--cook/stir until melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted caramel mixture evenly over the cooled brownies in each pan. Cool completely. Use the foil to remove the brownies from each pan and cut them into squares.
